My knees stopped sustaining me without prior notice. I fell to the ground, feeling the pain seize every inch of my being. I cried bitterly to see the lifeless body of my mate, my twin soul, just a few steps away from me. I screamed until my throat burned, while the fire was still moving forward. On a rock, up, as if he wanted to see everything with his own eyes, I noticed that Allen Samuel smiled, proud of what he did.
If only it had taken less time in the community.
If I had only stayed in my home,
The fire spread to us. The flames surrounded us and I couldn't care less. Somewhere in my mind, I perceived that Liam and Lily had not yet released me, who struggled to stand up and get safe.
And I stayed there, on the ground. Observing the fire going in my direction. I am hoping to find myself with my mate in another life. In the few seconds I spent, I could not understand how Maggie was still al
"She left. It was impossible for her to flee, but her father…" I released him immediately without allowing him to finish the sentence. Someone would have an interesting visit. I moved the furniture with a simple movement of my hand, causing the door to open and Adrien falling to the ground. He looked at me as if he did not recognize me. I knew I was acting deranged. I knew it, but I did not care. "Come here, love. We have a visit to make." I helped him get up while I took him by the arm and made me accompany him towards the way out of the mansion. I could understand Adrien's confusion, but I appreciated that he did not mention anything about it. I saw Miguel in a corner, taking care of Ainsley that seemed restless. I greeted them in the distance, without daring to approach. Lily and Liam were helping the pack move. They ran from one side to another, taking c
Adrien did not let go. He took me on his back, walking through the forest so easily that was enviable. I always walked here and I always had to take care of my steps or I would end up kissing the wooded soil. I had assured him that I was better and that I was able to walk on my own, but he seemed happy to have me around him. Listening to his breath calmed me a bit, feeling him close to me was all I needed to go back to my self. The initial astonishment had passed and was then when I understood how easy it was to fall into the darkness. Allen Samuel had fallen by greed and I was about to fall for revenge. The hatred that lived in my heart handed an invitation to the darkness and was gladly accepted. I was lucky enough to have a mate nearby. It was a matter of minutes. A heart of light could be stained so easily, almost going unnoticed. Adrien only noticed for being my mate. He could not see the
"What I did not know is that I would end up getting involved." I could not know what she was referring to. Just then I saw a shadow move through the trees and I knew that our attackers were here. There were not too many. A group of perhaps twenty witches. All hooded, all dark and a little dark. "Hell," I whispered, I barely saw it. He also wore a hood, but he did not look so frightening. His look was ashamed, as if he fled. He was uncomfortable, trying to go unnoticed. Was he an idiot? It was impossible for him to not notice. "Estrella, what a pleasure to see you here!" Allen Samuel exclaimed, right in the centre. "Where were all the descendants of Samantha?" He looked carefully at the place. Yes, letting go of our pack was painful, but we would return when the danger ceased to be imminent. I
After the confrontation with Allen Samuel, I began to walk towards the territory that Donovan in a very kind way gave us. Lily did not stop talking about how great I was looking , while Liam commented that even him was surprised by how well I managed.I took the opportunity to ask Liam for explanations about him. He told me that he was not very good as a sorcerer, unlike Lily that overflowed with magic, but he had the great ability to teleport. He said he could not do it more than once a day, because it left him exhausted.Just as I began to get tired, I noticed Adrien was close. The travellers, as they asked me to call them, disappeared immediately without notice. I did not know why, but I did not give much attention to the matter when Adrien hugged me with a sweeping force. He filled me with kisses all over my face, making me laugh."I was so worried! Do not ever do that, Elle. Cook up everything you want, but do it by
I closed my eyes for a moment, leaving to glimpse the fatigue that had seized my body. It was not easy, I felt that I had the weight of the war on my shoulders.I liked to pretend that it was strong and powerful, that nothing affected me. But the reality is that I was very worried and every second that happened I felt worse. I did not want to lose anyone.The problem settled in that the wars did not have compassion for anyone. It was my duty to monitor and safeguard all possible lives. Each loss would be my responsibility.And I was only seventeen. I was not ready for this.There were still months to be of legal age.What is it supposed to do? I didn't even know it.Go to sleep, Elle. You do not do well staying late.Even my wolf scolded me.With a sigh, I got up from my seat in the direction of my bathr
I am training everyday with my body suffering the consequences. I was exhausted, but it was worth it. I needed to know everything possible about defence and attack. Donovan was an excellent instructor, so we moved quickly. I was trained in physical combat and was the fastest around the netherworld. I learned to dodge attacks, concentrate on my opponent, and I also managed to improve my kick amazingly quickly. This would help me face some members of the army of Allen Samuel. We had to change many plans when we found that most were teenagers who's just lost. Allen Samuel took advantage of an innocent teen.Almost children. Gabriel, rather than Roscoe, had informed me of everything I needed to know about our attackers. Allen Samuel did not walk with nonsense. I was looking to recruit highly talented people, people with such incredible powers, which were rejected even by their own families. That included
I hoped it was a good girl, someone with the patience to handle this giant. I expected him to be happy together with his mate because he deserved it. "As I said, Luna. All preparations are ready for tomorrow." "Thank you, Cody." I waited for that day. Adrien was perfect. It would not be the big celebration that the pack expected, but we had wanted both to have at least one special day. We would take advantage of it to officially celebrate the rise of both. It would be a decisive day for the pack. We help keep the wolf's brave spirit burning. an Alpha for which the moon is known as Conqueror and the moon as the unifier. It certainly was not common. Preparations were made without Adrien's knowledge. I wanted to throw a small surprise party, knowing that most likely he already suspected it. Tomorro
The dress that Lily left on my bed seemed to have her own brightness. It was dark blue with decorations in silver. The fabric felt very soft and comfortable with a gradient that made me fall in love at the first instant. I was lulled into a starry night. I wore a corset, which seemed very complicated to put on. The sleeves were long, but left an uncovered part of the chest, with a half moon in the centre. It fell long, so it would be difficult to move once, but it would be worth it. It was so beautiful... She sent me to take a shower with a bossy voice making me laugh. She was so small, but she tried to look intimidating. Her hair looked like a mixture between chestnut and blond, much clearer than her brother's hair, Liam. She was styled in a neat bun that accentuated her beauty and thin features. There was something that was familiar in her blue eyes, but she gave me a push when she noticed that I had seen her too long.
ADRIEN. "There has not been any changes in the last three months," I answered. "As the community ordered, She has not used her powers more. For the wolf, there are still no signs of life, but she says she is fine. She clings to the idea that she is hidden inside her." "You said this had already happened before." "Yes, when Estelle arrived in the pack, there was no trace of her wolf." I cling to that possibility, although my hopes begin to be exhausted. "What about Gabriel?" Estelle's grandfather asked. "There are no signs that dark magic is present in his body. It seems that he was not affected." "His mate must also have helped him." "Yes, she's a very powerful
I was sleeping. Yes, I was sleeping peacefully. I did not want to wake up. I felt comfortable, as if I was on a pile of fluffy clouds. I wanted to keep in this state for a while longer. Here there were no fights. Here there were no deaths. Here there was no magic, neither good nor bad. Here, I could be at peace. I dreamed of Mother Luna, caressing my hair gently. She pampered me as if I was her own, rocking me in my dreams, watching for my safety. I remembered having talked with her, although I just could remember her words. I only know that she had murmured that she was going to protect me, even when it seemed that she had left me. She was always by my side. I also dreamed of my mother, who cried bitterly between my arms. As much as I wanted to ask her what happened, I could not understand it. It was as if she was far
Both nodded, waiting for me to explain what they should do. Taking a deep breath, I started crossing the battlefield, ignoring everything around me. Lily blocked the attacks that could hurt us, while Liam healed all the ones he saw pass near us. Allen Samuel was lying on his back, agonising. He was unconscious, his body full of injuries that I had caused him when he was trying to kill me. He was much stronger than Ainsley, so he would endure much longer than her. "Estelle?" Liam asked, not knowing what to do. "They must be sent to the past, that place where Samantha Eleanor lost her life," I explained. I would not have time to talk to Adrien, but I took care that he knew that I left the battle in his hands through our connection. I did not allow him to talk, I did not want to let him know how much I needed it at this moment. And I could not let him know t
"Ainsley!" I shouted, tearing my throat in the process. I saw the movement in slow motion. First the dagger fell from her hand, the sound was recorded forever in my head. Her eyes that's full of panic were fixed in Allen Samuel, as if she could only see him. She seemed to be apologising silently just before her body collapsed. I tried to get up and run towards her, no matter how I was in the middle of the battle. I'm not interested in what happened with Allen Samuel. My body did not react, I was struggling to not fall into unconsciousness. Standing up had cost me, but I was so concentrated in it, I was not interested in my body's current state. I had to get to her, I had to save her. Each step cost me. Each step was eternal. I knew, without a doubt, that I would come too late. I screamed from the frustration, since my legs were increasingly trembling, my vision began to darken and I was not able to take the steps t
I was already warned that there was a sorcerer capable of inhibiting our powers. It was one of the first things that Roscoe informed me since it was dangerous for us. For that reason, the best thing I could do was keep Allen Samuel away from the battle from his companions, but nothing had served. I could only fight against him for a few minutes before we wrapped up the general battle. I was even able to see Cody from where I was transformed, fighting against another wolf, only that he stayed in human form. Lily was healing one of the vampires, which had a rather chilling wound on his arm. Liam was close to them, making sure that no one approached Lily as he protected them. I could not see Ainsley, but that was better. It meant that she was hidden and safe. Soon I managed to notice Donovan fighting melee with several vampires. And Kaos was in the centre, taking care of protecting all of the magical attacks.
Adrien. When the enemies arrived, my first thought was that I had to protect Estelle. I did not know what to do, but I did not want to stay away from her for a second. However, I knew I would have to wean. Allen Samuel is Estelle's responsibility. One that I did not like at all, but it was her. I was watching the twins, who seemed to have fun being on a battlefield. And the only human in the whole place, Ainsley, was hiding among the witches. I saw Estelle fighting with Allen Samuel. My heart almost fell out of my chest when he lunged at her, taking her with him beyond as I could see. I wanted to follow, make sure she was all right and help her in her battle. I wanted to protect her ... I shook my head, concentrating on the battle in front of me. The first thing I saw was those masked men running toward us. They did not hesitate to try to approach us once Allen Sa
Gabriel did not hesitate to get in front of me and protect me from Allen Samuel. He came at the right time, when I thought everything was lost. The dark layer of the ice rippled in the wind. His body looked much more muscular, insurance for the training which he had submitted because of Allen Samuel. He looked at me from the corner of his eye, as he threw a ball of ice at the foot of our enemy. I stared at him for a second, spellbound with vision. He looked much stronger, even frightening. I hesitated for a moment to see him, I was not prepared to find all the changes that it made months apart. He did not look like the guy that I ran after school days, who came into my life and treated me with the utmost sweetness. One who saw me as if he was worshipping me. No. This witch had something that inspired great respect. The magic around him seemed to have life of its own, like a barely contained hurricane.
Three days later, in the middle of the night while I'm preparing myself to sleep, I received the first notice that Allen Samuel approached. Roscoe complied with his words. He warned me that they would arrive at midnight. So I'm in charge of notifying everyone. Thanks to Roscoe and the great work of Gabriel, we were already prepared for the attack so it was quite quick to mobilise everyone. We leave pregnant women, children and elderly in a shelter protected with magic. Kaos was the one who helped me do it, teaching me all kinds of tricks. I gave Miguel the order to stay in the shelter along with Ainsley. He complained, saying that he could fight by our side. I had to convince him. Even if the shelter was protected with magic, it was impossible to leave the other pack members alone. Someone strong enough had to stay, in case something went wrong. In addition to Miguel, we leave a couple of wolves near the shelter wh
Saying goodbye to Margaret was difficult. Most of the pack members were there next to her until her last breath. They all cried and lamented. Maggie was probably the most beloved person in her pack, leaving aside the former Alpha and her son. They all had appreciation for that adorable woman who gave her life to serve her pack. Of course we were hurt more than others. Humans said goodbye to their way of their own, we also had our own customs. Somewhere in the forest, we had mobilised up there despite the dangers. We rested Margaret's body surrounded by daisies, her favourite flower. When the moon shone on it, it was a sign that she was ready to start again, so some of the members began to light the flowers. Her ashes had to reach the moon so that our Goddess could welcome her home. It was a sad and painful ritual, but it had its ess
